Mercedes S-Class Review Roundup

Alx · 12-06-2005, 12:15 PM

So many reviews so little time... here they all are!

Although it hasn't been released here in the states (yet), several automotive journalists have already had the good fortune of testing Mercedes' newest flagship sedan, the S-Class, and have posted reviews of what we all have to look forward to in the coming months.

The reviews are somewhat sparse, but as the release of the S draws nigh, I'm sure we'll all be graced with a countless number of additional thoughts, comments and opinions. In the meantime, this should hold you over a little longer, and we'll be sure to update our review roundup as more S-Class reviews are published.

Enjoy.

Nice review from Automobile Magazine! I like the fact that MB has improved the ABC suspension to react 60% better than the previous version used on the W220 S-Class, which was very effective btw. I also like this photo.

Needs to be in black and better resolution and it would be Wallpaper worthy!

I just read the other reviews and I`m tired already.

Thay sound good but quit typical to any S-Class fan. Seems MB was conservitive in the technological developement stage with this S-Class more than any other version.

yea i suppose, i read on mbspy.com ages ago (3 years ago may be!!) that it was going to have bumpers that popped out in accidents and it was going to communicate with other mercedes to pass on road and traffic conditions...may be when the facelift comes out it will get it!? but whatever they do someone will have a problem with it, apparently the w220 had too many innovations for its own good and thats why it has electrical faults and now they have made something with fewer innovations and people are saying there could have been more.....?? people cant have hundreds of innovations and 100% reliebility, everything electrical will develop a fault at some point...

Or maybe we've reached the ceiling for this segment? It has nothing to do with wanting or not wanting to make inovations... I think that that can be a bad thing when you strive to be the number one and invent things that are useless. For example, the nightvision was horribly executed. It might have been a good innovation if they actually made it a part of a heads up display instead of the instrument cluster.

You can improve so much on car and after a while, it will reach to the point where it's going to start slowing down in terms of inovations.
